Kiekie design (mana ako)

This week is Tongan language so at Mana Ako we had to design a type of clothing called Kiekie. Kiekie is a type of clothing that women wear in Tongan. Wearing a Keikei is a sign of faka’apa’apa (respect). A type of clothing in my culture that is like a Kiekie is a puipui. We usually use these at cultural performance’s. So if you do Maori it is showing respect to our culture just like how when you would wear a Kiekie which is also showing a sign of respect
